[발췌: M. Bauwens's] Commons Thinking Offers a Road Map to Transform Society

출처: Michel Bawens (2014). Commons Thinking Offers a Road Map to Transform Society: A frank but hopeful assessment of Ecuador's bold move. On The Commons. July 14, 2014

MIchel Mauwens, founder of the P2P Foundation, was invited to chair a reseach team exploring the possibilities for "fundamentally re-imagining" Eduadorian society on the basis of commoning, open networks and peer production. The Quito-based project sought ideas from people of all walks of life for 10 months, and releases their Transition Plan (available in English here) in June. Bauwens offers his personal analysis of the process below.

One of the first questions, and critiques, is about the relationships with the government itself.
